Your Scottish Bookshelf - Prize Draw

If you were to produce a list of your top 20 top 10 essential Scottish books, what they would be? That's the basis for Anna Nicholson's Scottish Bookshelf, and we'd like your views.

Which books should be on every Scottish bookshelf, and in every Scottish Library? Would you head for the best-sellers, like Rankin, Banks and McCall Smith? Are the classics your thing - Stevenson, Waverley, Hogg? Maybe it's poetry, or philosophy, or history? What are your top 20 10 Scottish books?

Send us your list and we'll enter you into our free prize draw to win two essential Scottish history books - Rosemary Goring's Scotland: The Autobiography and The Oxford Companion to Scottish History.

The winner will be picked randomly from all complete entries. The chosen lists will be published on BooksfromScotland.com at the end of August. The competition is not open to staff of BooksfromScotland.com or Publishing Scotland.
